Thomas P. Kasulis is professor in the Department of Comparative Studies at Ohio State University. His publications include the classic Zen Action/Zen Person and more recently Intimacy or Integrity: Philosophy and Cultural Difference.
The Way Home is obviously written for students with no background
in comparative religion. The positive side of that is that it is
highly accessible, and as the only recent treatment of Shinto at
this level it will make a valuable contribution to better
understanding of Japan.-- "www.dannyreviews.com"
Kasulis takes a comparative, philosophical approach, identifying
both Japanese and universal characteristics of 'Shinto
spirituality'.... The book has a clear thematic structure, reads
well, and will certainly provoke lively classroom discussion.--
"Journal of Asian Studies"
An outstanding introduction to the basics of the Shinto tradition
and its many practices.-- "Philosophy East and West"
The best available primer on this little understood pillar of
Japanese spiritual life.-- "Daily Yomiuri"
